Summer School

Summer Figure Skating School is always a season of growth in a skater's development. With the relief of the school year behind the skater, he/she has the ability to dedicate more time and energy toward their skating progress. The more time the skater spends training, the more progress the skater will make. The MFSC has had an organized summer program for over 33 years.

MFSC currently conducts its summer school at the Berry Event Center, located on the campus of Northern Michigan University, 3 blocks from beautiful Lake Superior beaches. The ice surface is Olympic size, 100' x 200'. Locker room facilities for skaters and a separate locker room for coaches are available.
